| My name is Joerg Logemann. I am 56 years old and I am an egineer of electronics and communication (Dipl.Ing.(FH)) in an development departement; we are developing antennas, receivers, direction finders , communication systems. I am living in a small village in southern Germany near the city of Ulm. My hobbies are also electronic and amateur radio (callsign DL2NI), photography and eveything which deals with computers. For example I am also watching ELF frequencies (below 50Hz) with a loop antenna, some amplifiers and filters and the PC. |
| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

I prefere donating my unused CPU power to important scientific purposes than using an useless screensaver. To find out if there is "anyone else" in the outer space is one of the most interesting questions for me! So researching in this field should have great priority. So it's fine when I can help.
I think it is a splendid idea to use millions of unused computers for sientific purposes where most of them normally use some useless screensavers when not in action. A lot of people have PCs at home with a huge CPU-power being much bigger than the power of big centralcomputers in research institutes 20 years ago... and they are only writing letters on it... Once organized all these computers you have a really big computer for your research purposes.
In the old seti@home system I had calculated 930 workunits with 9265hr CPU time. It's not very important, but unfortunately these figures seem to disappear when starting with the BOINC system. I cannot see in my new account how many workunits I allready had. By the way SETI is also a good benchmark test for computers; therefor I also would like to see the time being used for one workunit, exactly like it was displayed in "good old" seti@home. |
